Title: Detecting redirection during data transmission
Inventor: BLATZ WERNER
IPC: B60R25/00
Filed: 2002-01-24
Abstract: To detect redirection or interception during a bi-directional non-contact making data transmission, the amplitude over the forward path (A1) is compared with the amplitude over the return path (A2). The amplitude (A1) over the forward path is transmitted in encoded form with the reply signal. If the amplitudes are of the same magnitude, then the likelihood of a redirecting process can be excluded. In order to additionally increase the security of the system, the carrier frequency (F2) of the interrogation signal can also be compared with the carrier frequency (F21) of the reply signal. The signals can also incorporate an ID code.

Abstract: An active photonic semiconductor device, such as a laser, optical amplifier or LED, is monolithically integrated with a photodetector. The device includes an optically active region formed on a substrate including a first electrical contact 21, for initiating emission of photons within the optically active region. An optical confinement structure (18, figure 1) generally defines a principal optical path through the device and through said optically active region. A photodetector structure 20, formed on the substrate includes a second electrical contact 22 displaced from and substantially electrically insulated from the first contact, overlying a part of the principal optical path, for receiving carriers generated by said emitted photons. A method of determining a degree of bandgap shift between a first region and a second region of semiconductor material by forming a photonic device on a substrate is also disclosed. The photodetector is preferably positioned to cover an intermixed / non-intermixed region close to a facet of the device and also close to the active region of the device. The photodetector may be weakly coupled to the optical confinement structure such that a very small proportion of the optical radiation can be monitored without deleteriously affecting the performance of the device. The intermixed regions 12,15 may define non-absorbing mirrors (NAMs).

Title: Information distribution method, server terminal, user terminal, and program
Inventor: KOMAKI KAORU
IPC: G06Q50/00
Filed: 2002-11-11
Abstract: The present invention is directed toward realizing the distribution of associated information that can attract the attention of users to events, thus maximizing the effect of the associated information. A matching table stores correspondence information for linking associated information to downloadable events that are to be sent to user terminals. An event-recognition unit of a server terminal recognizes the occurrence of an event that is to be reported to a user terminal, and a matching unit refers to the matching table and specifies associated information that has been linked to the event that has been recognized. A distribution control unit, instead of performing a process of reporting the recognized event to the user terminal by way of the communication network, fetches the specified associated information from an associated-information storage unit and transmits the specified associated information to the user terminal by way of the communication network. The user of the user terminal recognizes the event that is reported from the associated information that has been distributed.
